Oh, who could forget the "not PS/2 connectors". I also vividly remember the sysadmin telling me to never ever disconnect they keyboard while the machine is running, or something inside might blow. Not sure if he was just paranoid, but I also never tried... I also remember one German shop buying a slightly used Onyx for half a million Deutsche Mark, and realizing they did not have the key for turning it on, so they had to short the thing. And it was so loud you had to wear earplugs...
- abcd_f 8y agoSpeaking of keyboards - I can't believe how well preserved the one in the video is. No discoloration or fading, as if it were made just last month. Is it an SGI thing or was it just sitting in a box as a spare all this time?
